Abstract
Provided are a method and a system for exchanging control information between secure socket layer (SSL) gateways. The method may commence with intercepting, by a client facing node, a client request including session-specific information and a session request to establish an SSL communication session between a client and a server. The method may continue with generating an SSL extension based on the session-specific information and adding the SSL extension to the session request to obtain an extended session request. The extended session request may be sent to a server facing node in communication with the client facing node. The method may further include identifying the session-specific information contained in the SSL extension of the extended session request and generating a further session request for establishing the SSL communication session between the server facing node and the server. The method may further include sending the further session request to the server.
